Connecting the VRO 300 to a PC
Before you can save programs remotely, you need to connect the
VRO 300
to your
PC.
•
Connect one end of the cable into the serial port located on the rear of the
VRO
300
.
Connect the opposite end of the cable into an available COM port on the
back of your PC.
•
Note that the COM port must be available—that is, not already assigned a
piece of hardware by the PC. You cannot simply disconnect a piece of hard-
ware and connect the cable. If there’s no COM port recognized as being avail-
able by the PC, then you will need to make one accessible (consult your PC
owner’s manual).
!
CAUTION
To avoid the possibility of electrical shock, power down both
the VRO 300 and the PC before connecting the serial cable.
